Republicans edge toward a breaking point on Trump

Republicans edge toward a breaking point on Trump

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Trump’s world is on fire, but not according to him. He believes he lives in a universe where he is lord and savior. “If I weren’t president, the world would be torn to pieces,” he told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Tuesday. If you believe otherwise, you’re not alone. Many believe that Trump has jumped the shark and is beyond delusional. In two Truth Social posts in successive weeks, Trump threatened to destroy the entire Iranian civilization while claiming to be the president of peace. Then he compared himself to Jesus and got into a fight with the pope. Whoever had “Trump threatens a WWE Pope Leo smackdown” on their bingo card is the winner. The rest of us are still trying to figure out how Trump can claim the Strait of Hormuz is open, or can be easily opened, or can easily be opened with the help of our allies, or isn’t open but we don’t care, or will magically open, or Iran has closed it and we’ve blockaded it. On Wednesday he posted …

AI-RAN is redefining enterprise edge intelligence and autonomy

AI-RAN is redefining enterprise edge intelligence and autonomy

Published by skeptic

Presented by Booz Allen AI-RAN, or artificial intelligence radio area networks, is a reimagining of what wireless infrastructure can do. Rather than treating the network as a passive conduit for data, AI-RAN turns it into an active computational layer. It’s a sensor, a compute fabric, and a control plane for physical operations, all rolled into one. That shift has huge implications for industries from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and smart infrastructure. VentureBeat spoke with two leaders at the center of this transformation: Chris Christou, senior vice president at Booz Allen, and Shervin Gerami, managing director at Cerberus Operations Supply Chain Fund. “AI-RAN can bring the promise of extending 5G and eventually 6G networks into the enterprise,” Christou said. “Proving that a platform can host inference at the edge to enable new types of AI — in particular, physical AI and autonomy-type use cases for things like smart manufacturing and smart warehousing — can make operations more efficient and effective.” “AI-RAN lets enterprises move from digitizing processes to autonomously operating them,” Gerami added. “The enterprise …

Gyokeres strikes late as Sweden edge Poland to reach World Cup finals

Gyokeres strikes late as Sweden edge Poland to reach World Cup finals

Published by Sam Flores

STOCKHOLM, March 31 : Viktor Gyokeres thumped home an 88th-minute winner as Sweden beat Poland 3-2 in a frantic World Cup qualification playoff final on Tuesday, booking their ticket to the tournament and extending Poland’s remarkable winless streak on Swedish soil. The result earned Sweden a first World Cup appearance since 2018 after failing to qualify four years ago and ensured Poland’s barren run in Sweden continued with the visitors having failed to secure a victory in the country since 1930. Anthony Elanga’s opener for Sweden was cancelled out by Nicola Zalewski’s equaliser, but Gustaf Lagerbielke’s 44th-minute strike restored the hosts’ advantage and ensured they entered the break ahead. Despite Karol Swiderski drawing the visitors level again shortly after the interval, Gyokeres capitalised on a late goalmouth scramble to fire home the winner. “To do it on home soil is indescribable. We believed in it until the end and that’s why we’re in the World Cup. Regardless of whether you get a lot of balls or not, you try to be connected and present,” Gyokeres …

New research suggests truth has a natural competitive edge over misinformation

New research suggests truth has a natural competitive edge over misinformation

Published by José Betancourt

Truthful messages are more persuasive and more likely to be shared than false ones, according to new research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The findings, drawn from four large experiments, challenge the widespread belief that misinformation naturally spreads more effectively than accurate information. Concerns about the influence of false information have intensified in recent years, particularly as misleading claims have been linked to delayed climate action, public health issues, and a loss of trust in institutions. Earlier studies have shown that falsehoods can travel rapidly on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), leading many to conclude that lies possess an inherent advantage in the digital environment. However, the new research suggests that this pattern may be shaped more by the design of social media platforms than by human preference. Led by Nicolas Fay from the University of Western Australia, the researchers sought to examine how people respond to true and false information when the influence of algorithms, bots, and platform incentives is removed. The team conducted four experiments involving a combined …

iPhone Air vs. Galaxy S25 Edge: Thin Phone Battle

iPhone Air vs. Galaxy S25 Edge: Thin Phone Battle

Published by skeptic

Super-thin phones carry a lot of appeal without a lot of bulk. They’re lighter than many counterparts, more comfortable to hold and let’s not forget how great they look. And although they remain a niche category, the Apple iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge are also paving the way for the slim technology that makes the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and rumored iPhone Fold possible. But are you giving up too much else for a slim phone? If you press them together, are they much thicker combined than a regular iPhone 17 or Galaxy S25 (or the new Galaxy S26)? And do they overcome trade-offs in battery life, camera and sound quality that come with a thinner design? I’m here to do the math and compare features for you. Looking to order the iPhone Air? Check out our order guide to learn if you can get it free and other great deals. Want to buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge?

Vinicius strikes twice as Real Madrid edge Atletico 3-2 in pulsating derby

Vinicius strikes twice as Real Madrid edge Atletico 3-2 in pulsating derby

MADRID, March 22 : Vinicius Jr scored twice as Real Madrid fought back to beat visitors Atletico Madrid 3-2 in a breathless Spanish capital derby on Sunday, keeping Alvaro Arbeloa’s side within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona. Billed as a relatively low-key Madrid derby, with Atletico sitting a distant fourth in the table, the match instead delivered a five-goal spectacle between the rivals. It had everything — stunning goals from both sides and a straight red card to Real captain Federico Valverde that reduced the hosts to 10 men in the dying minutes. Atletico’s Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, finishing a slick counter-attack involving Matteo Ruggeri and a delightful backheel from Giuliano Simeone. Vinicius equalised from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute after David Hancko clumsily tripped Brahim Diaz, and Valverde capitalised on a Jose Maria Gimenez error three minutes later to make it 2-1 to Real. Nahuel Molina silenced Real’s Bernabeu stadium with a thunderous 30-metre strike in the 66th minute, but Vinicius restored Real’s lead with a …

If Janša, who has expressed admiration for U.S. President Donald Trump, were to lead the country again, it would give Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán another ally in the European Council. In remarks Sunday night at his party headquarters, Janša said the results show Slovenia has two choices: Either the incumbent liberal-left coalition could continue to govern, or a new right-wing coalition under SDS could take the reins. Liberalism vs. illiberalism Slovenes went to the polls after a dramatic campaign that in its final stretch was less about bread-and-butter issues than allegations of election interference.  Former Prime Minister Janez Janša is pictured in Arnače, Slovenia on March 22, 2026. | Jure Makovec/AFP via Getty Images Janša, a veteran politician who has served multiple terms as prime minister, campaigned on lower taxes and stronger governance, while Golob sought to frame the election in an interview with POLITICO as a choice between liberal democratic values and Janša’s Hungary-style illiberalism.  Leaked audio and video recordings published earlier this month and apparently designed to tie Golob’s government to corruption showed prominent Slovenian figures, including a former minister, apparently discussing illegal lobbying and the misuse of state funds.   Slovenian authorities said Israeli private intelligence firm …
